On Wednesday, we asked for the best aurora photos and received numerous images of this fascinating light spectacle from our readers. Among them were many successful shots that impressed with their bright colors and dancing shapes in the sky as well as the technical brilliance and creative eye of the photographer.
Colors – Composition – Technique
The best images are characterized by a perfect blend of technical precision and artistic expression. Some of the pictures captivate with their clear color reproduction. From rich green to bright pink to radiant violet - the variety of hues is impressive. These colors are created by the impact of solar particles on molecules in the earth's atmosphere and are a sign of the intensity of the solar storm that causes the aurora.
Other pictures captivate with their composition. A well-chosen foreground, a few trees, a city backdrop or even a reflecting lake further enhance the beauty of the aurora. The reflections of the lights in the water or the contrast between the illuminated sky and a dark forest create a strong effect.
The technical realization also plays a major role. Long exposure times and the skillful use of ISO and aperture ensure that the lights are depicted clearly and in detail. A steady hand or a stable tripod is essential to avoid camera shake and capture the fine details of the Northern Lights.
The images not only show the beauty of the Northern Lights, but also the dedication of the photographers who sent us their pictures. We would like to thank you for the numerous submissions and regret not being able to show all the pictures.
